To my surprise if I include a raw file in my project it turns up in the .app contents under the resources folder unencrypted and fully available to anyone willing to "Show Package Contents". It was not like this in the older versions of RB, as you would never find these files in the resources folder before, but using an older version is no longer an option with the way the core is built. What are some strategies, besides simply encrypting the file, that some of you guys are using to protect your proprietary works that are included and accessed within your apps? Thanks.

It was not like this in the older versions of RB, It was this way as far as I am aware.... and it is this way in almost any OSX application you have.... including RealBasic itself. Any files (docs, graphics, textfiles, databases) that are included in a project by dragging them to the IDE are stored in the App Bundle in the exact format they existed when they were dragged in. Real Studio does not obsfucate, encrypt, or modify the file in any way... If you wish to include encrypted data, you may... but it is up to you do provide routines to encrypt/decrypt. OSX itself includes some rather powerful file encryption routines that can be call from a SHELL command _________________ Dave Sisemore iMac I7[2012], OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 RB2012r2.1 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 2 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
